Kyriacou leads Evian Championship going into last round

Australia’s Stephanie Kyriacou will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Evian Championship in pursuit of her first major title.

Kyriacou birdied the last in a third round of four-under 67 to finish 14 under par on Saturday and edge ahead of ********* Lauren Coughlin and Japan’s Ayaka Furue, with Thailand’s Pajaree Anannarukarn another three strokes back on 10 under.

The 23-year-old Sydneysider finds herself in pole position after a spectacular third round featuring seven birdies and three bogeys left her on a total of 199 for the three rounds.

She opened her round with a bogey, followed by birdies at the next three holes.

Coughlin holed from 25 feet for an eagle on the ninth and 18 feet for another on the 18th in her 65, with halfway leader Furue only able to add a 70 to previous back-to-back rounds of 65.

Three other contenders are five shots back at nine under. The group consists of Ally Ewing, who shot a 64 on Saturday, South Korea’s Hye-Jin Choi (71) and Patty Tavatanakit of Thailand, whose 72 dropped her from second place to the fifth-place tie.

Scotland’s Gemma Dryburgh, who held a share of the lead after an opening 64, completed the last nine holes of her delayed second round on Saturday morning in one over to return a 71, and added another 71 in round three to remain seven under.
